Peter Schiff, Euro Pacific Capital CEO, spent a few hours with the Wall Street mob in Zuccotti Park recently talking about the greedy rich, 1%, and their fair share. He struggled to create a two way conversation with the crowd. The mob, in liberal mindset, refused to listen focusing only on what they wanted to say. A key question posed by Schiff here is: “How many people do you employ?” What is the real value of the greedy rich; Employers, producers, spenders…, or taxpayers?

Yes like any libtard they only want to hear the sound of their own voices vomiting trite cliches.
Logic and facts are irrelevant to them.

I gave up watching, there wasn’t much debate (or originality). So for my own pennyworth:
the fairest tax would have to be exactly the same rate of tax applied across the board to all taxpayers, equally, no ‘marginal’ rates, and no exceptions.
An even fairer tax would be the Warren Buffet approach, where we all set our own tax rates. Good ol’ Buff can be as much more as makes him comfy, folks like me would pay as much less—win/win all round.
Perhaps if the Public by referendums set the government’s budget(s); and any politicians or government departments exceeding their allocations be forced by law to meet the deficits out of their own personal private pocket—? Jail for failure to cough up?
Dream on … but we do need accountability and responsibility in government. Much more than mistargeted grandstanding by the well intentioned naive who should really be occupying Washington and the Halls of Power … why aren’t they? Don’t ask.
